RF Code’s Proximity Detection System
RF Code’s proximity detection system is designed to work around “actions” that require human interaction. The system is comprised of the A760 Proximity Locator (A ) and the R142 IR & proximity enabled badge tag (R142-i3RF). The A760 Proximity Locator is a battery-powered radio signaling device used in coordination with proximity-enabled personnel badges (R142) to answer “Who Did What, When & Where” questions: Who pushed that button? Who opened the freezer or refrigerator? Who accessed the tool shed? Who opened that door? Who washed their hands? A760 R14z2

Battery: Type & Quantity: 3 AA Life: 4 years at 100 events per day Designed for indoor use

R142-i3RF Badge Specifications
Communications Capabilities: Long range active RFID Short range proximity detection Infrared Receive / input 3 Button manual input Long Range RFID Radio: RFID Radio: 433MHz RFID Radio Range: up to 300 feet Short Range Proximity Radio: Proximity Radio: 915MHz Proximity Radio Range: 2 to 6 feet Size: Width: inches Depth: inches Height: 0.28 inches Weight: 1.40 oz. Construction: Injection-molded polycarbonate enclosure Durability: Splash resistant Battery: Type & Quantity: 3 Lithium CR2032 Life: > 2 years (typical)

A760 Proximity System – How It Works
“Action” is initiated by a badged person. A760 Wall Unit detects “action” event, transmits long range 433 MHz signal with unique ID & emits unique 915 MHz ID in short range field. Badge receives 915 MHz transmission, decodes ID, and transmits an acknowledgement via 915 MHz. Badge transmits via 433 MHz successful “transaction” including the ID of the Wall Unit. Wall Unit transmits via 433 MHz a successful “transaction” completion. A760 Proximity Locator 433MHz Long Range 915MHz Short Range M250 Reader 433MHz Long Range A750 Room Locator Unique IR ID R142 Badge Tag 38

RF Code’s Proximity Detection System For GoJo TFX Dispenser
RF Code’s proximity detection technology is designed to work around “actions” that require human interaction such as opening a door, activating a switch, etc. and identifying who does what and when. The A761 Proximity Locator is designed to work with the GoJo SmartLink enabled TFX Dispenser providing a fully integrated hand hygiene monitoring solution indicating who dispensed soap or hand sanitizer, at what time, and in what location. The system is comprised of the A761 Proximity Locator installed in a GoJo TFX Dispenser, and the R142 IR & proximity enabled badge tag. GoJo TFX R142 A761

High Level Work Flow for Hand Hygiene
GoJo TFX Dispenser is activated by a badged person. The SmartLink system activates the embedded A761indicating a dispense event. The A761 then transmits a unique 915 MHz ID in short range field. Badge receives 915 MHz transmission, decodes ID, and transmits an acknowledgement via 915 MHz. Badge transmits via 433 MHz successful “transaction” including the ID of the Wall Unit. A761 transmits via 433 MHz a successful “transaction” completion indicator and the ID of the badge. GoJo TFX Dispenser with RF Code A761 Wall R142 Badge Tag 40

The Energy and Cooling Dilemma
A complex challenge of “Energy Usage vs. IT Reliability” Too hot and equipment reliability suffers Too cool and energy bills skyrocket For every 1 degree F that rack air intake temperature is raised, 2% of the annual power costs can be saved This complex challenge is an optimization problem How to sustain optimal IT equipment reliability and not over cool the data center therefore wasting energy and money? In order to optimize data center cooling, we must measure cooling at the rack level per the ASHRAE 2004 or 2008 or NEBS guidelines.

Recommended & Allowable Temperature Ranges
Recommended Range (statement of reliability): Preferred facility operation; most values should be within this range. Allowable Range (statement of functionality): Robustness of equipment; no values should be outside this range. Max Allowable Rack Intake Temperature Max Recommended Over-Temp Recommended Range Under-Temp Min Recommended Min Allowable Allowable 32°C 27°C 18°C 15°C

3 Metrics for Data Center Cooling Optimization
Dr. Magnus Herrlin at ANCIS, Inc. has developed three key metrics: Rack Cooling Index High (RCIHI)® Rack Cooling Index Low (RCILO)® Return Temperature Index (RTI)TM RCI is a best practice performance metric for quantifying the conformance with thermal data center guidelines and standards such as ASHRAE and NEBS. RTI quantifies the energy performance of the air-management system. It is a measure of net by-pass air or net recirculation air in the equipment room. Rack Cooling Index (RCI) is a Registered Trademark and Return Temperature Index (RTI) is a Trademark of ANCIS Incorporated ( All rights reserved. Used under authorization.

Rack Cooling Index (RCI)
RCI is a measure of compliance with ASHRAE or NEBS intake temperature guidelines and is expressed as a percentage (max = 100%) RCIHI is a measure of the absence of over-temperatures 100% means that no temperature is above the maximum recommended Less than 100% means the greater the probability (risk) that equipment experiences temperatures above the maximum allowable (hotspots) RCILO is measure of the absence of under-temperatures 100% means that no temperature is below minimum recommended Less than 100% means the greater the probability (risk) that equipment experiences temperatures below the minimum allowable (over-cooling) Poor Acceptable Good Ideal ≤90% 91% - 95% ≥96% 100%

Return Temperature Index (RTI)
RTI is a measure of net by-pass or net recirculation air. It is the ratio of total equipment airflow to total air-handler airflow expressed as a percentage. 100% means balanced airflow <100% indicates net airflow by-pass Cold supply air returns directly to CRACs without cooling the IT equipment: Elevated fan power, reduced chiller efficiency >100% indicates net airflow re-circulation Hot IT equipment exhaust is drawn back into intakes: Hotspots and reliability concerns. Often results in low RCIHI Poor Airflow Net By-Pass Target Airflow Net Re-circulation <80% 80% to 120% >120%

Map View with RCI(HI) Overlay

Data Center Current RCI & RTI Dashboard

RF Code’s Implementation of RCI & RTI
RF Code’s Asset Manager software computes the following RCI & RTI Metrics: RCIHI & RCILO for each individual rack RCIHI & RCILO for each row RCIHI & RCILO for the entire data center RTI for the entire data center The data from these computed metrics can be utilized in multiple ways: Real-time views (tables & dashboards) Trending & reporting Thresholding & alerting Publish to BMS systems via OPC, Modbus/IP, & Bacnet/IP Available via open API to 3rd party software

3 Levels of Data Center Thermal Monitoring
Basic: Proactive thermal thermal monitoring at row or rack level Alerting, reporting, graphing and dashboards via Asset Manager Advanced: Comply with ASHRAE thermal guidelines to reduce data center cooling expense and heat related equipment failure risk Leverage RCI (Rack Cooling Index) metrics to optimize data center cooling Optimal: All of the “Advanced” items above Desire for more operational efficiencies and fine grained monitoring to further reduce data center cooling expense (intake and exhaust) Leverage RTI (Return Temperature Index) metric for more data center optimization
